Operation
Before First Use
Remove all packing parts from the unit and the container and take the
accessories out of the cooking oil container. Dispose of unused packaging
material or store it out of reach of children. There is a risk of suffocation!
Check the unit for possible transport damages. Clean the unit as described in
chapter "Maintenance, Cleaning and Storing
"
.
Operation
Never switch on the fryer
without cooking fat/oil
. If you use firm cooking fat,
it is essential to cut it into small pieces for better heat transfer. Put the pieces
directly into the container and not into the wire basket. If the blocks are in the
wire basket, there will be no heat transfer.
1. Fill the fryer up to the middle of the MIN/MAX marking with approx. 2.5 l.
Do not exceed the MAX marking, otherwise the boiling oil/fat may cause
burns.
2. Plug the power plug into a socket earthed according to regulations. The
power supply control light
ON/OFF
(4) indicates that the unit is
connected to power mains.
3. Close the lid and select the required temperature by turning the thermostat
control dial (1). The heating control light
HEAT
(3) indicates a switched on
heating element. The desired temperature is achieved when the light turns
off. When the temperature decreases, the thermostat automatically
switches on until the selected temperature has been reached.
4. Now fill the frying goods in the wire basket (8). Preferably, the frying goods
should be free from water.
5. Put the wire basket into the container and close with the lid. Pay attention
for splashing fat to avoid burns. Make sure the handle is placed in the
provided openings of the lid, so the lid can be closed while frying. You can
observe the frying process through the window glass. If necessary, very
carefully wipe off condensation from the glass while opening the lid.
6. Set the control dial (1) to the
OFF
position when you do not use the unit
and
then pull the power plug
. Allow the frying oil cool down. Then empty
the container.
